Fast Dipstick Dye Immunoassay for Detection of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM Antibodies of Human Toxoplasmosis

A dipstick dye immunoassay (DDIA) was developed to detect immunoglobulin G (IgG) or IgM antibodies of toxoplasmosis infection in humans. The assays employ a blue colloidal dye particles (D-1) conjugated to sheep anti-human IgG and rabbit anti-human IgM as the visualizing agents and a soluble antigen of tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii strain RH (TSA) as the detective antigen. The mixture of dye-labeled anti-human antibody-special human antibody was captured by TSA onto a nitrocellulose membrane dipstick by means of immunochromatography. The assays are rapid (the whole test can be completed within 15 min), simple, and cheap, and they don't require any equipment. They are sensitive and specific for the detection of anti-Toxoplasma IgG or IgM antibodies and generally agree closely with the results from the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The assays are especially suitable for field applications.     

Hepatitis B virus genotype C prevails among chronic carriers of the virus in Korea

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the major causative agents of chronic liver diseases in Korea. HBV has been classified into 8 genotypes by a divergence of >8% in the entire genomic sequence, and have distinct geographic distributions. There are limited data on the relevance between HBV genotypes and clinical outcomes in Korea. To investigate the clinical feature relating to HBV genotype in Korea, a total 120 serum samples with HBsAg (65 from Seoul and 55 from the other city in Korea) were obtained from each 30 chronic HBV carriers with asymptomatic carrier (ASC), chronic hepatitis (CH), liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBV genotype was determined by either enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using monoclonal antibodies against genotype-specific epitopes in the preS2-region or the direct sequencing of small S gene. HBV genotypes were determined in 105 (87.5%) of 120 samples. HBV genotype C was identified in all HBV carriers with ASC, CH, LC, and HCC. Genotypes A, B, D, E, F and G were not detected in any of them. Genotype C HBV prevails predominantly among chronic carriers of the virus in Korea, irrespective of their clinical stages of liver disease and geographic origin.

In vitro dedifferentiation of fetal porcine pancreatic tissue prior to transplantation as islet-like cell clusters

The fetal porcine pancreas under experimental conditions can be transplanted in the form of explants or islet-like cell clusters (ICCs) to normalize blood glucose levels in diabetic recipients. ICCs are released from the collagenase-digested pancreas and require a 4- to 5-day culture period for their complete formation. In order to maximize insulin producing beta cell differentiation following transplantation, an understanding of ICC development is essential to utilize this alternative treatment for type 1 diabetes. In this study a role is proposed for exocrine cells in the generation of the multipotent pancreatic precursor cells during the culture period. Acinar cells undergo dedifferentiation during the initial stages of the culture period into multipotent pancreatic precursor cells, previously called protodifferentiated cells. The progressive loss of exocrine differentiation appears to involve rapid degranulation of zymogen granules by exocytosis and loss of the prominent secretory apparatus. These processes occur in parallel with a significant reduction in the expression of lipase in the period from day 0 to day 5 and simultaneously there is an increase in the epithelioid/ductal cell marker, cytokeratin 20. Using proliferating cell nuclear antigen, cell proliferation during the culture period does not appear to account for the increase in epithelioid/ductal cells. Further the rates of apoptosis and necrosis which were identified using the TUNEL technique and propidium iodide, respectively, do not appear to account for the reduction in exocrine cell numbers. Exocrine cell dedifferentiation appears to increase the pool of protodifferentiated cells which have the potential to develop into the insulin-producing beta-cell population following transplantation into the diabetic recipient
